The Vector Monkeys was founded by Joris Hoogendoorn and was his first step into a career after finishing SintLucas; School for Entrepreneurs in the Creative Industries. During education, he learned to use playful interactive design, such as when he was a trainee at Fluid by Remon Tijssen in 2004. After finishing SintLucas in 2005, Joris teamed up with Jurgen van Zachten of Locografix where they worked on illustration, graphic- and web design projects for clients like: ID&T, Copa Classic, TU/e, TNO Holst Center, and Wegener Media. From 2008 until 2013, Joris was a Senior Designer and Art Director at idreams Interactive, where he designed websites and apps for clients like: Schwarzkopf, Herman Miller, LOI, Politie, Mora, Hero, Praxis, and ANWB. Mid-2013, Joris decided to wake up The Vector Monkeys, returning to his entrepreneurial roots as a freelance illustrator and visual designer.The Vector Monkeys now proudly work within a strong network of designers, developers, motion designers, and all types of professional, creative people and for clients like; Facebook, Microsoft, Philips, Vodafone, ING, Spotta, PostNL, KLM, Ambulancedienst, Omron, Gemeente ‘s-Hertogenbosch & BrabantWonen.
